Скачать или смотреть Canyoneering Tech Tip: Girth Hitch Block (Experimental!)

Here's a potentially helpful technique to create an alternative carabiner-blocked single strand rappel.


This technique is experimental, as in I arrived at this technique through experimentation, attempting to solve some inherent issues with the common canyoneering practice of a clove hitch carabiner block.


The typical clove hitch tends to roll off the spine and fail, especially in stiff ropes. It also has a tendency to drag across the rock and become core shot. This should solve both of those common problems.


Take a look and if you choose to try (experimental! Not guaranteed to be safe), let me know how it works for you.
